Buggy code:
final class ServletContainerAdd extends AbstractBoottimeAddStepHandler { static final ServletContainerAdd INSTANCE = new ServletContainerAdd ( ) ; ServletContainerAdd ( ) { } @ Override protected void populateModel ( ModelNode operation , ModelNode model ) throws OperationFailedException { } @ Override protected void performBoottime ( OperationContext context , ModelNode operation , final ModelNode model , ServiceVerificationHandler verificationHandler , List < ServiceController < ? > > newControllers ) throws OperationFailedException { } public void installRuntimeServices ( OperationContext context , ModelNode model , List < ServiceController < ? > > newControllers , String name ) throws OperationFailedException { final ModelNode fullModel = Tools . readModel ( context . readResource ( EMPTY_ADDRESS ) ) ; SessionCookieConfig config = SessionCookieDefinition .

SERVICE_NAME , SessionPersistenceManager . class , container . getSessionPersistenceManagerInjectedValue ( ) ) ; } newControllers . add ( builder . setInitialMode ( ON_DEMAND ) . install ( ) ) ; } }

Fix:
boolean persistentSessions = PersistentSessionsDefinition . isEnabled ( context , fullModel . get ( PersistentSessionsDefinition . INSTANCE . getPathElement ( ) . getKeyValuePair ( ) ) ) ;
